During the pandemic, many people have found themselves with more time at home and have been focusing on decluttering, decorating, and DIY projects to transform their living spaces. Here are some creative DIY project ideas:
Hand-Painted Wallpaper
If you want a unique and personalized wallpaper design, you can create your own by sketching your desired designs on the wall and applying colors using paint. Another option is to make wooden objects for your desired designs and glue them to the wall.
Custom Mirrors
You can transform a damaged mirror without replacing it by patching up the damages with scrap wood, dry-glued papers, or tape and painting the sides based on your preferred style.
Transformation of Old Dresser
Instead of buying a new dresser, you can repair the existing one to save money. Using milk paint is suggested by DIY bloggers Ash and Eileen Annesley of Just Measuring Up to bring life back to old furniture.
Bookshelves
When making bookshelves, it is essential to consider the thickness of the wood to carry heavy books. It is also important to ensure that the shelves are level and properly mounted to cover up the wall. You can choose to paint the shelves with your desired colors/styles before attaching them to the wall using an L-bracket or any other material.
Plant Wall
Building a garden fence or shed outside your house can definitely be a great way to create a beautiful, organized garden space. Planting your desired green and flowering plants in a wall formation can also help maximize space and create an eye-catching display.
One way to do this is to attach plastic planters to the battens on the fence or shed, making sure to secure the locks to prevent any accidents or damage. As you build up your garden wall, you can fill the planters with soil and your chosen plants, making sure to water them regularly and provide the necessary nutrients to promote healthy growth.
It’s important to make sure your fence or shed is sturdy enough to support the weight of the planters and soil, and that you choose plants that are suitable for your climate and growing conditions. If you’re not sure where to start, consider consulting with a local nursery or gardening expert for advice and recommendations.
With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create a beautiful and functional garden space that provides a tranquil retreat and enhances the overall beauty and value of your home.
In summary, doing DIY projects can give a fresh look to your home while giving you a productive activity during the pandemic. These five DIY projects offer affordable and attractive ways to add personality to your living space.
